[1][2] According to the official press release by Pentavision, "the game will feature new and upgraded content of the rhythm game loved by enthusiasts, and the stylish design will attract new players... information regarding location testing schedules and support information will eventually be released".

[citation needed] Various merchandise was sold by Pentavision, including the DJMAX Technika 3 Limited Edition OST package, as well as a Platinum Blue Collection which includes the game soundtrack, Platinum Blue International IC Card (for gameplay), a card case and stickers.

[3] In the same playing style with earlier editions of DJMax Technika, the game requires the player to touch musical notes which appear at various points on the arcade touchscreen in sync with the rhythm of a song as it plays, specifically as a bar which moves along the upper and bottom halves of the screen crosses the notes.

The "groove meter" will decrease if notes are missed, and once empty the player fails the chart and the game concludes.

MAX points are used to purchase additional songs, effectors, DJ icons, notes and emblems.
